Procol Harum - The Wreck Of The Hesperus Lyrics
(fisher / reid)Well hoist a hand, becalmed upon a troubled seamake haste to your funeral, cries the valkyrieWell hoist a hand or drown amidst this stormy seahere lies a coffin, cries the cemetery, it calls to meAnd all for nothing quite in vain was hope forever tossedNo thoughts explained, no moments gained, all hope forever lostOne moments space, one moments final fall from graceBurnt by fire, blind in sight, lost in ireWell hoist a hand, becalmed upon a troubled seaI fear a mighty wave is threatening meWell hoist a hand, or drown amidst this stormy seacome follow after, cry the humble, you will surely see ...But still for nothing quite in vain was hope forever tossedNo moments gained, no thoughts explained, all hope forever lostOne moments space, one moments final fall from graceBurnt by fire, blind in sight, lost in ire
